Timekettle, the expert in AI translator earbuds, has unveiled its latest innovation, the W4 Pro AI Interpreter Earbuds, at the International Funkausstellung (IFA) 2024. More than a device, the W4 Pro functions like a personal assistant, catering to the cross-language communication needs when hosting foreign guests, conducting multi-language online meetings, or traveling abroad for business or leisure.

Timekettle是一家致力于打造人工智能翻译耳塞的企业，其在今年国际电子消费品展览会（IFA）上发布了最新产品 W4 Pro人工智能翻译耳塞。该耳塞既是工具，更是一位私人助手，不仅能够满足不同语言间交流沟通，如接待外宾、开展跨国在线会议，也能用于海外出差或出国旅游。

“Interpreter earbuds like the W4 Pro are essential even when phones can be used for translation, because they cater to a more refined and immersive user experience,” said Leal Tian, the CEO of Timekettle. “In cross-language communication, there’s a growing need for meaningful conversations and deeper connections beyond basic translations, especially for business pros, immigrants, and travelers. The W4 Pro meets these needs by allowing natural, hands-free conversations with eye contact, making interactions smoother.”

Timekettle 首席执行官 Leal Tian 表示：“虽然手机可以做翻译，但是我们更需要像 W4 Pro这样的人工智能耳塞，因为它能提供更精细、更沉浸式的交互体验。在跨文化交际场景，尤其是商务出差、移民海外和出国旅游时，除了基本的翻译之外，人们愈发需求更人性化、更具深度的译文进行对话。这些需求W4 Pro都能满足。用户们可以放下手机，自然顺畅地面对面交流。”

The W4 Pro caters to diverse communication needs in three distinct modes. The first mode focuses on one-on-one simultaneous interpreting. It features advanced technology that allows for instant translation in a two-way conversational setting. Its dual interpretation system redefines successful communication by allowing two voices to merge into a singular flow. The earbuds also incorporate a triple microphone array that enhances voice recognition and translation accuracy.

W4 Pro有三种模式满足多样的沟通需求。第一种模式更像是一对一同声传译。由于采用了最新的技术，这种双向对话模式可实现即时翻译。其双向传译系统运用了声音融合技术，向着更自然的沟通迈进了一步。耳塞还集成了三麦克风阵列，这样可以提高语音识别和翻译的准确性。

For professionals navigating multilingual meetings, the W4 Pro’s Listen & Play mode is an ideal choice. It allows seamless switching between listening and speaking with simultaneous interpretation. Timekettle’s AI Semantic Segmentation ensures rapid sentence parsing, enhancing communication and productivity, while AI Memo provides intelligent post-meeting summaries.

对于参加跨国会议的专业用户来说，W4 Pro的 “聆听与播放”模式也是一个不错的选项。该模式可以通过同声传译实现在听和说之间无缝切换。Timekettle的“人工智能语义分割”技术可以快速分析句子，提高沟通和产出效果，而“人工智能备忘录”则会智能梳理会后总结。

The third mode caters to online interactions such as video calls or streaming foreign media content, ensuring users understand every word with real-time translated subtitles and audio summaries post-meeting or event. In addition, unexpected phone calls in a foreign language are no longer a concern, as the W4 Pro offers one-way assisted translation and real-time transcription subtitles, enabling quick information grasp and efficient conversations.

第三种模式适用于视频通话或播放国外流媒体等在线沟通交互，通过实时翻译字幕和后期音频总结确保用户能理解每一个字。此外，W4 Pro还提供单向辅助翻译和实时字幕转录功能，用户可快速掌握信息并进行高效对话，因此突然接到外国来电不再让人头疼。

Understanding the importance of user comfort and efficiency, Timekettle has equipped the W4 Pro with an open-ear design, ensuring prolonged comfort without compromising privacy or hygiene. Additionally, its high-end sound quality enriches every interaction, making it comparable to professional audio systems.

Timekettle深知舒适度和效率对用户的重要性，因此W4 Pro为开放式设计，长时间使用无不适感的同时也不会影响隐私或卫生。此外，它的高端音质还能进一步优化每一次交互，足以媲美专业音响系统。

Significant Milestone to “Babel Fish”

“巴别鱼”式重要里程碑

Timekettle was inspired by the “Babel Fish,” a magical creature from the sci-fi movie “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.” “Babel Fish” allows people to understand alien languages. Since its inception, Timekettle has been striving to create a real-life “Babel Fish,” enabling everyone to communicate freely across different languages.

Timekettle 的灵感来自科幻电影《银河系漫游指南》中的神奇生物“巴别鱼”。这种鱼能让人们听懂外星语言。自成立以来，Timekettle一直致力于将“巴别鱼”搬进现实，让每位用户都能用不同的语言自由交流。

Over the past eight years, Timekettle has revolutionized cross-language cultural communication through a series of innovative products. Initially, Timekettle introduced a handheld translator, which, despite requiring users to press a button and wait, significantly aided in understanding across languages. The evolution continued with the M3 Translator Earbuds, allowing users to listen and respond, though still necessitating manual switching of audio channels.

在过去的八年里，Timekettle通过一系列创新产品彻底改变了跨语言跨文化交流。最初，公司推出了一款手持翻译器，虽然用户还需要按下按钮并等待，但它极大地帮助了跨语言交流。M3 Translator耳机在此基础之上进一步升级，用户能够接收和回复，但仍需手动切换音频频道。

The breakthrough came with the Timekettle WT2 Edge Simultaneous Translator Earbuds, featuring HybridComm™ technology that enabled two-way, real-time communication. Users could speak and listen simultaneously, making conversations more natural and efficient.

Timekettle WT2 Edge同声传译耳塞实现了突破，它采用了 HybridComm™技术，可实现双向实时交流。用户可以边说边听，对话也就更加自然、高效。

Early this year, Timekettle further advanced its technology to process multiple people’s audio in five different languages simultaneously, pushing the boundaries of cross-language communication.

今年年初，Timekettle进一步升级技术，可以同时处理五种不同语言的多人音频，推动了跨语言交流的发展。

Each of Timekettle’s technological advancements aims to make cross-language communication as seamless as same-language interactions. And now, the Timekettle W4 Pro AI Interpreter Earbuds enable smooth, effective communication in global business negotiations across languages. Looking forward, Timekettle remains committed to achieving universal communication freedom, continuously enhancing its products to facilitate natural and efficient cross-language interactions.

Timekettle的每一项技术进步都旨在使跨语言交流与同语言互动一样无缝。现在，Timekettle W4 Pro人工智能口译耳塞可在全球商务谈判中实现流畅、有效的跨语言沟通。展望未来，Timekettle将继续致力于打破全世界的交流障碍，不断改进其产品，以促进自然、高效的跨语言互动。
